Interesting, but not too difficult.
My guess is you will spend more time building the fixture than you will laminating the piece.
As a suggestion, look at Fred Bingham's book, Practical Yacht Joinery.
As you can imagine, there are lots of laminations when you build a boat.

It took me awhile to figure out where the triangle was but as you said, draw a picture. Clever solution. Thanks.
The top is three pieces all cut with a router and templates.
You need to buy the article to get a full understanding of what the guy did.
It appears to be very similar to the piece at Target.

From your original post I'd thought just the arch was curbed. Even so, easy enough to make from solit wood. Just cut the curve in multiple pieces and glue together, or cut small pieces, and put together. Or you could use plywood. You plan on painting anyway, so any joints will be covered. Or, just make a curved front arch, then make a flat top behind that. No prob.
Being as you're gonna paint, and no loade will be placed on the top, you could probably even mold it out of sawdust clay.
